MIXER OPERATION

Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before operating this mixer.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

ELECTRONIC SCALES

Kuhn Knight Inc. offers a range of scale heads with the most popular features to display accurate ration weight while loading. Refer to the scale manufactures operator manual for operation and maintenance.

EXTRA KNIVES

Extra short and long knives are available for certain models. See Mixer Operation section for more information.

CARBIDE KNIVES

Carbide knives are used in conditions where normal knife wear is decreased by the materials being mixed.

PROGRESSIVE KNIVES

Progressive knives are longer and are more aggressive than standard or carbide knives. Progressive knives will decrease mixing and hay processing time but will increase horsepower requirements to drive the mixer.

SIDE EXTENSIONS

8” Side Extensions are available to minimize spillage of light materials during processing and mixing. The purpose of the side extension option is to help contain long stem material while processing, with the convenience of loading from either side.

HAY RESTRAINT

The optional steel tube on the upper perimeter of the tub assures that large round bales will stay inside the mixing chamber while processing while allowing little to no hay loss.

STAINLESS STEEL LINERS

Stainless Steel Liners are installed when mixing course materials to extend mixing chamber life span.

SINGLE SPEED HYDRAULIC DRIVE

Hydrostatic drive replaces the mechanical drive system, eliminating the driveline and reduction gearbox from the truck PTO.

VARIABLE TWO SPEED HYDRAULIC DRIVE

Two speed hydrostatic drives offer greater start-up torque and speeds up final clean-out compared to single speed hydrostatic drive.
